A year ago
A year ago today the Bad Thing happened.
We here at BBD we stationed at our usual posts, having perfected the right blend of panic drops, strawberry and whisky (first tested during the World Series) to keep us from feeling the pain too much.
Return of the Kane was the episode of Veronica Mars that day.
A year on, where are we?
This ScAlito fellow is a fucking nightmare, but almost worth it to hear the sad, ridiculous Republicans trying to claim that people are calling him "Scalito" because they're anti-Italian. Really - this is a bonafide GOP talking point. It doesn't really get more pathetic than that. I suspect he will be confirmed, unless there's some sort of nanny situation. I'm not happy about it, but it's worth pointing out that he is not, apparently, as bad as some. And really, what the fuck did you expect? We knew that the Chimpster was goingto get his own little court when he was re-elected. That's one of the big reasons we wanted him out. And lo, it has come to pass. Tragic, but not unexpected. Get your abortions while you can, girls.
In Iraq it's the same shit, different year. That place is FUBAR and I have no idea what to do about it.
And the Dems? Well Harry Reid, the pro-life mormon from Nevada most likely to look like your grandfather just said to the world yesterday, "Never underestimate the size of my cojones."
And the thing that gets me really excited about the closed Senate stunt (and it was a stunt, and a mighty good one) is that it means they were planning. They realized the GOP is weak and they planned something. Imagine! Our Democrats, planning. Gives me a happy glow.
